Should mild varicocele of the spermatic vein be treated?

Patient's question:

Lab test, careful examination results: No sperm
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No sperm
What kind of help do you care about: What can be solved through varicocele surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Treatment of Varicocele: Asymptomatic mild varicocele does not require treatment.
Non-surgical treatment: For mild varicocele or those accompanied by neurasthenia, measures such as reporting scrotum and cold compresses may be applied.
Surgical treatment: For severe varicocele, a history of sperm count below 20 million for three consecutive times, or testicular atrophy; if the varicose veins disappear when lying flat, varicocelectomy (high ligation of internal spermatic vein) can be performed.
In addition, during the treatment of male reproductive diseases, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the recovery of male reproductive diseases.
